I followed my class quest for the Great Hunt to Tatooine and guess what I found!
There is a speeder vendor on Tatooine, right here.
All the speeders are on display so take your time and window shop. You learn how to ride a speeder from your class trainer and it costs 40,000 credits and the actual speeder costs 8,000 credits. So save up!
A look at my talent tree so far.
The last five levels went rather smoothly. Mako's story line is getting pretty interesting. I won't give any spoilers away but I can't wait to see how it unfolds.
The only interesting healing ability I acquired was:
Cure
Cleanses a friendly target of up to two negative tech or physical effects.
Once you have The Cure..(hehe)
It's pretty handy when your party members are on fire. Keep an eye on your party member debuffs. You're doing great!
You are in your ship and the game takes you on a
pre-determined path but you do have to steer clear of the containers and other
ships.
To fire upon enemy ships press the left mouse button for
single shots and the right mouse button to fire the missiles. You only have so
many missiles so shot wisely. Your protective shield regenerates when you are
not firing so don’t fire constantly when there are no ships in front of you.
Pressing the space bar makes you barrel roll and that will help dodge enemy
fire from cruisers heading towards you and gunners on the ships.
Here is a video of the entire fight. It is not my video I
found it on youtube.com. He does make the fight look much easier then it was,
who knows this could be his 15th try.
You will fail the mission if you:
Run
out of time
Run out
of health
Do not
complete the mission in the allotted time
To complete the mission you need to:
Destroy
12 station turrets
Destroy
2 station shield generators
Destroy
3 station hangars
Destroy
3 station antennae
Bonus Objectives:
Destroy
60 enemy fighters
You receive bonus experience if you get this but it does not
count against you if you don’t get it.
You can shot the enemy ships with the phasers (left click)
and hit the shield generators, hangars and antennae with your missiles (right
click). You will fly over the station several times so don’t worry if you miss.
Also, I thought this was difficult when I first tried it
without upgrades. After I purchased shielding, extra missiles and all the other
level 1 upgrades for my ship it was much easier. To buy all of them it will
cost about 7500 credits. It is well worth is as the space battle went quite a
lot smoother. So I recommend it. You can buy upgrades in any main city, turn on
your vendor search on your M-map and look for “ship vendor”. He is usually
located near the docks.
If you don’t complete it on the first try you can try again
as many times at it takes. I did it several times before I managed to complete
it. I had a blast doing this mission. Pew, pew, pew, pew, pew – shooting rebel
scum is F.U.N.!
I have been hearing a lot of negative reviews about the
space missions that it is a "tube shooter" meaning you can not fly anywhere you wish. I can see this being something players want and I can see BioWare implementing it in the future. For now, having the ship follow a set path helps me familiarize myself with the controls and my environment.
What did you think of the first battle? Has the space
fighting lived up to your expectations?
